Stimulus Signed--$787 billion, but Where Does it Go?

I am just starting to peel back the onion on this, Here are some articles about the funds that are headed to California.
  • Obama Leaves D.C. to Sign Stimulus Bill
  • OC’s stim wish-list: more green construction, more jobs
  • Stimulus adds tax credit for home solar panels
  • Stimulus bill expected to pour $26 billion into California
More to come....

About Me

My Photo
Charles Bradshaw, PMP
I am a native Californian that has in one way or another been involved with public service. I think that my work has taken me to many places that have given me access to solutions to complex problems. From implementing a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) at the Port of Oakland to being an aide to the conscience of Congress, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, I have had the privilege of working with results oriented leaders that were fighting for things larger them themselves. The PLA provided labor peace for the construction projects, which modernized the maritime sector and expanded the Oakland International Airport. In addition to labor peace it brought hundreds of East Bay residents into the building trades. I despise poverty pimps and privileged whiners. Outreach programs that are 80% overhead that get no results and large contractors that have no sense of responsibility to the public that they are serving get no love. I am also a certified Project Management Professional (PMP).
